This jug was a rather special one from Nov 2014. It is a standard ware jug, but it has taken on a character beyond standard. 2015

The Tenmoku Teapot, not an easy one to get right. All 'Bodilly' Teapots are glazed with a white glaze inside which promotes a good tasting brew. This pot holds 1.2 lt, perfect for about 4 cups of tea. 2015

Blue Green Storage Jar.JPG

Storage jars, like this tea jar are a joy to use at home. Bodily tea jars fit a bag of 'Twinnings Everyday tea' to perfection. 2015

Boscean Pottery wasa great inspiration for me. I learnt to make these type of mug that master Potter Scott Marshall was well known for in West Cornwall. 2015

The blue milk jug just asks to be used. Part of the Standardware designs, the blue ones leave the showroom first. 2015

Small Bowl.JPG

These small bowls are used for many different small jobs in the kitchen or for serving sauces/dips. Some happen to come out beautiful too. 2015

Jacob Bodilly Pottery is situated near the Devon/Somerset border, between the tiny Hamlet of Greenham and the village of Holcombe Rogus.
Jacob Studied Ceramics at Cardiff University and went on to become one of the first apprentices at the new Leach Pottery, St Ives, in 2008. Jacob finished his apprenticeship in 2010 and went on to run the Boscean Pottery in St Just, Cornwall.
Jacob has recently re-located his practice to Devon where he has his workshops and showroom. In May 2014 work began to renovate an old farm outbuilding into use as a Pottery. Jacob has since extended his space to allow for a tuition space. The Pottery also has a small garden plot.
Jacob Has enjoyed relative success over the last 7 years with commissions from The Barbican centre shop in London, The Eden Project at St Austell, Contemporary Artist Kurt Jackson, and English Heritage. Jacob has also completed many other minor private commissions and small scale commercial commissions for cafes and restaurants.
Jacobs style resonates his passion for traditional and folk ceramics.
Jacob has worked in much of the main ceramic firing techniques throughout his career. He currently fires his work in a gas fired kiln and makes his work in the reduction stoneware process.
His work is made from a secret blend of quality clays, and all his glaze finishes are hand prepared. Specifically Jacob hand prepares certain Iron bearing pigments and wood ashes, which he expertly blends with powdered stones and clays to create his distinctive glaze pallette.
Jacob enjoys selling his work directly to customers and invites the public to visit him at his workshop and showroom. He also gives tuition and demonstrations of his formidable skill.
